Royal Caribbean

Taste of Alaska

Dive into exotic flavors.

Take your taste buds on a voyage of discovery. A Royal Caribbean cruise is rich in flavor and ambience with superb fare available in venues from bow to stern. But the dining experience is about so much more than just delicious food. It’s about the flexibility to have dinner whenever you like, and it’s about variety. Whether you’re hungry for an elaborate meal or a quick bite, you can find memorable selections at sophisticated specialty restaurants and casual venues throughout the day and well into the night. It’s like having access to a best-of collection from an entire city’s dining scene.

To satisfy the gamut of guests’ tastes, all Royal Caribbean menus strike a balance between modern and familiar fare. Palate pleasers abound at complimentary restaurants such as Windjammer Café, Park Café, and Boardwalk Dog House. If you’re in the mood for an authentic Italian meal that will transport you to the Tuscan coastline, Giovanni’s Table is the perfect choice. Got a yen for hot-rock cooking and sushi? Head to Izumi Japanese Cuisine. When a luscious steak is calling your name, visit Chops Grille.

Restaurant options vary, but rest assured that whatever the moment calls for, you can find it on the ships. The offerings are widely diverse, but the vibe is consistent: never stuffy and always sociable. The food is fresh, high quality, and, best of all, delightful.

What’s Included

A Royal Caribbean cruise means options—and you have plenty for every single meal during your stay, with an array of restaurants and cafés serving complimentary breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks around the ship.

As the centerpiece of the culinary program, the sophisticated dining room, complete with a signature grand staircase, serves three meals a day—all with a side of sweeping views of the Alaskan wilderness and impeccable, attentive service. Here in Alaska, salmon and other types of local fish and seafood are menu staples, but you can also savor succulent entrées such as rack of lamb and slow-roasted prime rib, along with new offerings like premium beef sliders and entrée dinner salads. The variety of heart-healthy, gluten-free, and lactose-free options has also increased—there are even guilt-free desserts like low-fat shortcakes and sugar-free key lime pies. The classics menu, available every night, features guest favorites such as escargot and linguine pomodoro. After all, they are classics for a reason.

Café Latte-tudes

Get your caffeine fix, enjoy a coffee break. Stop by the relaxed central spot for freshly baked muffins, cookies, pastries, and some great people watching. Ben & Jerry’s ice cream and Starbucks specialty drinks are also available to quench those cravings.

My Time Dining

Dine when you like. It’s that simple. My Time Dining offers the flexibility to plan dinner around your schedule. Make reservations for anytime between 6:00 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. each night in the Main Dining Room. You can choose a different hour each evening, so you can fit your dinnertime around the rest of your plans, not the other way around.

À la Carte

Pick and choose from the menu.

Izumi Japanese Cuisine

At this authentic Asian-fusion restaurant, indulge in impeccably prepared sushi rolls, sashimi, hot pots (sukiyaki), and cook-it-yourself hot-rock (ishiyaki) plates. Dine at the bar and watch the sushi chefs in action or at a table to view the seascape outside.

Room Service

Enjoy breakfast in bed, cheesecake on the balcony, or a quiet dinner for two in the comfort of your stateroom. The general menu is listed in the Cruise Services Directory, on the interactive TV system, and in the staterooms. Menus placed on door hangers can be used to place breakfast orders the night before. Suite-level guests have the added perk of ordering from the Main Dining Room’s menu during dinner hours.

Specialty Dining

Craving something different? Something more intimate, perhaps, or a more lively dining experience? Reserve a table at one of your ship’s specialty restaurants. For one small cover charge, you can order anything you’d like from the menu and relish a dining experience that’s five-star gourmet, bursting with regional flavors, and everything in between.
